Циклична динамика на основни фискални агрегати в България за периода 1998-2014 г.

Author(s): Anton Gerunov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2016

We present an overview of the dynamics of fiscal aggregates in Bulgaria in the period 1998 to 2014. The paper investigates the cyclical dynamics of budget revenue and expenditure and their major components. Using time series of deflated statistical data we calculate the elasticity of individual revenue and expenditure components to GDP growth – both for the overall period and for the post-crisis years. The major conclusion is that the Bulgarian fiscal aggregates are characterized mainly by procyclical dynamics, with the wages and maintenance expenditures being the least sensitive, and investment – the most sensitive to upturns and downturns in growth. These results can feed into fiscal policy and outline the potential to use public investment as an instrument for macroeconomic stabilization in the country.

It is emphasized that in modern conditions progress in the sphere of labour is identified with an increase in the number of employees in high-tech industry, expansion of the tertiary sector and the innovation sphere. The author offers to consider the effective use of human resources engaged in high-tech sector as a prerequisite for decent work at the level of the national economy. It has been convincingly demonstrated that the current model of functioning and state regulation of the economy of Ukraine does not provide adequate incentives for the creation and development of high-tech industries in Ukraine. It is noted that the measurement of progress in the field of decent work should be carried out on the platform of employment diversification and dissemination of its innovative and non-standard forms under the condition of ensuring adequate social protection. Specific indicators of human resources management efficiency at high-tech branches of industry of Ukraine for 2013-2015 years in the context of decent work have been analyzed.

Чинники інтелектуалізації розвитку української економіки у глобальному середовищі

Author(s): Liudmyla Tsymbal / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 4 (37)/2020

The development of globalization processes poses new challenges to the countries of the world, primarily related to the gradual transition to the knowledge economy and its implementation in the face of today's challenges. On the one hand, the formation of the knowledge economy takes place in the context of globalization and liberalization of legislation, and on the other - this transition is accompanied by the desire of states to strengthen control over strategically important areas, including areas of intellectual potential. Expanding the possibilities of using intelligence as a basis for qualitative economic growth is becoming one of the key prerequisites for the success of the economy and assessing its leadership potential in these conditions. Changing the qualitative basis of economic development requires a rethinking of the role of intelligence in the management process, which, in turn, raises the issue of intellectual potential and the effectiveness of its implementation. The analysis of the structure of Ukraine's economy shows the urgent need for its qualitative restructuring, given the processes of global intellectualization of production.Significant intellectual resources accumulated in Ukraine, however, do not receive sufficient capitalization. Such indicators are the result of the lack of scientific and innovative spheres among the priorities of the state development, which is unacceptable in the conditions of transition to the knowledge economy and building an efficient economy. The intellectual potential of Ukraine is formed by many factors, including the scale and structure of training of specialists with higher education and research staff. The level of structure, structure and quality of scientific personnel training have the greatest influence on the level of technological readiness. Indicators also include: the network of organizations, their structure, level and structure of funding, the number and structure of scientific training, the number of researchers and their share in the structure of the labor market.
